after nearly a week and a half of being sick as a dog i think i’m finally starting to feel better today. and in honor of clearing out my desktop (and my stuffy sinuses) i thought i’d share some things i’ve been loving (from the couch with tissues) the past week or so. as usual, it’s a mix of high and low but this week instead of florals or yellow & black, i’m feeling dark browns, oranges and a dash of equestrian chic. i love horse-related imagery- it always reminds me of my favorite mollie dash bracelet that has a little faux horse bit as part of the chain.
[stay tuned for the 2008 d*s diy contest announcement this afternoon!]

What is that cute thing that says, “Little Otsu”? Otsu is my husband’s hometown in Japan, so I’d love to have that thing, whatever it is!

I love those brass stools! I love your entire little collection actually, very Palm Springs circa 1970s ;)
Oh and about the Figaro ring, Valentine’s Day is coming up so you never know!

i know ac loves me but $1500 is just plain crazy. i guess it’s made of gold but still- yowza!
i’ll be happy with a nice night out on the town ;)

Oh man, I like everything there, but that ring takes the cake. Maybe you can save up, but it will probably happen that by the time you get the money for it, you will like something else even more! At least that is what ends up happening to me.
I love that you featured a Toronto designer! Virginia Johnson has such beautiful fabrics.
Napkin Notebook – what a great idea!
This is totally what I was thinking of when I made this:

I know, I know, shameless self promotion, but it’s like you jumped into my head! Get out of my head Grace!
you’re in my head too- this post totally caught my eye. I wish I could find more of those faux gucci links or whatever they are. they had been from a long chain I found at a thrift store. then I saw Nora from Project Runway wearing the same thing as a necklace. ha ha.
i’m obsessed with equestrian chic. i’d love to see a round up that featured more horse stuff!
